[Something akin to a chuckle escapes Lahabrea once he hears that little yawn. It does him so much good to know that he caused that fatigue. It also does him good to know that Themis is so accepting of him and all of his flaws. Athena left a hole in his heart that he thought could never be mended. The act of her betrayal left many scars within him, some of which run deep enough to be etched into his soul. However, Elidibus is the first to attempt to mend such wounds, the first and only.

Lahabrea lets out a little hum as he nuzzles his cheek against Themis’ chest. He’s content to let the younger man act as his pillow for now. After all, Elidibus is quite comfortable and warm. However, he refuses to let go of his hand even now. If they must slumber, then they shall do so with their fingers entwined like two star-crossed lovers. This brings a smile to Lahabrea, especially once he hears Elidibus’ request.]

Of course, there’s no other place I would rather be than in your loving embrace.

[He whispers before leaning over to kiss Elidibus on the lips before he can fully fall asleep.]

When you awake, I shall be here…still holding your hand. There’s no need for us to part so soon.
